The VFC SCAR is one of the best SCAR replicas on the market. Its finish is on par with that of a real SCAR and is extremely similar in weight and feel. It features a full rail system, and a working bolt stop and bolt catch. The internals are all top-notch so there is no upgrading required besides the spring if you need it to shoot a little harder.

When the box arrived the outside appearance was great and it felt very solid.

Here’s what you get when you open it. I was surprised to see that the gun was only cushioned by some foam blocks and nothing else.

Here's some stickers that you get with it

This gun includes a 500-rd Hi-cap magazine that is very well put together and has a nice finish.

The magazine differs from other 7.62 magazines. It is uniquely shaped and is VFC’s personal design. The hi-caps are only available now. To my knowledge this gun will not accept other magazines like the SR-25 and It has a unique guide rail on the back which matches the magwell of the gun.

The VFC Mk17 Gen. III.

The VFC Mk17 at the moment only comes in the CQC (Close Quarters Combat Version) version, but you can buy aftermarket barrels to either make it the SV (Sniper Version) or STD (Standard Version) Version. The Conversion barrel for the CA Mk16 is compatible with this gun if you prefer the standard version. Appearance and feel: The paint finish on the upper receiver is very smooth and slick. It is made from CNC machined aluminum and is very light. The lower receiver, pistol grip, and stock are made from a material called glass-filled Unlike other scar replicas the colors of the parts on the gun closely match.

The gun comes standard with the CQC barrel with an abnormally long flash hider compared to regular M4 flash hiders.

Some of you might want to replace it, but since I got the HK version it also came with a nice detailed aluminum silencer that goes right over the flash hider.

In addition the HK version Mk17 comes with the FN Herstal trademarks where as the US version does not. This gun is very solid and light with no unwanted squeaks or rattles.
